Doing the Herky Jerky

Most of you guessed how that was done but let me see if I can explain it. You start with a black square. The whole design is cut up into sections and you put it together block by block. The shapes are fused to the background leaving the black spaces between them. With feed dogs lowered you go around each piece with this 'herky jerky' stitching which is indescribable. You have to use a stabilizer under the fabric. I used fabric softener sheets. After years of careful stitching it's a hoot to do but does take quite a while. Each square is done separately then joined together.
There, I think I've done it. More questions?
